In a major shift, Microsoft may be preparing Windows 12 for 2024

Microsoft intends to keep Windows 11 current in the years ahead, alongside the next version of Windows in 2024. In recent months, Microsoft has backed away from its original promise of large annual updates for Windows 11, preferring to ship major features when they are ready. After being recently finalized by Microsoft, the next major update, 22H2, is expected to arrive in September or October.

Microsoft has reportedly abandoned plans for a similar large 23H2 annual update in 2023, instead focusing on rolling out new features throughout the year. This is more in line with Microsoft’s recent changes to its Windows Insider program, in which more experiments and prototype features are being widely tested.
